Hey guys last night i got my slk-900u with my hairdryer fan(Tornado 92mm) I have a MSI Neo2-FISR with a p4 3.0c on it. Now, i was following the instructions from the thermalright webpage but those are as good as reading hyrogliphacs. It took me over 2 hours to figure out how to install the adapter plates to the heatsink because either the HS would not stay stable or it was too high from the cpu. I somehow installed it so that it landed on the cpu right and the HS stayed locked down.
When i put the AS3 on it i spread it very very thin but i dont think it was that thin because it wasnt transparent.
Well i boot up my pc and im getting in bios 48C and when i get into windows it gets to 59C on load and 48C on idle. Thats way too high for what i was expecting from this setup so im pretty sure i did something wrong seeing as people have been getting 29C on idle and like 35c on full load.
I used PC health 4, corecenter and MBM5 to monitor my temps.
I also stress tested my computer over night runnning cpuburn and prime at the same time no errors or crashes or stability issues.
This has really got me stumped and fustrated, i dont want to burn out my cpu
Sorry for the long post as my first but im desperate right now.
Oh and i love the board, very good tips all over the place.
